Calgary Flames summary
The Flames have a lot of contracts with term. Unless the Flames make some trades, the forward corp is solidified for years to come and they will look to improve on defense and goaltending in the 2020-2021 and beyond. Calgary is in a solid position to retain some of their free agents while making other moves to improve the roster.
